-------------------------------------------------
Chapter Six: The PersualKira stood in the corridor, awaiting the arrival of a certain person. A certain pink-haired person, to be exact. Keeping in mind the many tips and hits Athrun and Dearka have drilled into him, he was trying his best to remain calm and composed.
"Relax, and do not appear nervous" Dearka had said.
Well, I'm trying to do that now.
"Try to maintain a smile for good first impressions" Athrun had said.
Kira broke into an awkward grin that made him look like someone straight out of the IMH – Institute for Mental Health.
"Bad breath is something you seriously want to avoid"
Kira took a packet of Listerine Pocket Pads and stuffed the whole packet's contents into his mouth, regretting his actions ten seconds later, as he was overwhelmed by the hot sensation in his mouth.
Trying to placate the fire burning his mouth, he gulped down half a bottle of mineral water, and once again, regretted his actions. His throat was now cool and hot at the same time, and the sensation was mostly unpleasant. (A/N try drinking water while sucking a strong mint or two in your mouth, and that is what Kira is feeling now)
Stowing the bottle of mineral water into his sling bag with a scowl on his face, Kira straightened himself and wiped his lips on his sleeve. Just as he maintained his composure, Lacus walked into the corridor.
Kira took a dainty box out of his sling bag and walked towards Lacus in smooth calculated steps, stopping just as they were close enough to each other.
"Hi Lacus!"
"Hey, Kira"
"Uhh… this box is for you"
"Erm… is it just a box?" asked Lacus in a teasing smile.
"Well, that's for you to find out. Why don't you open it and see?"
Lacus used her long fingers to untie the ribbon with graceful moves, and slowly unwrapped the wrapper. Kira took the chance to look at her from head to toe. Her hair was put into her usual ponytail, and she wore a little makeup, if any, yet still looked beautiful. Her long eyelashes, black eyes, small nose, dainty pink lips just made the picture complete. She was wearing a white shirt, black vest and black mini skirt. Kira couldn't help but notice with disappointment that she had rather small breasts, but her hips were nice with her long slender legs. She was wearing sneakers and ankle length socks.
The voice of Lacus saying "Wow!" broke him out of his thoughts.
"This is a nice model of my Mobile Suit. The details are stunningly vivid. And, the weapons can even be moved?" asked Lacus with a disbelieved look on her face, as she tried to move the different parts.
"Yep, and take a look at the cockpit" replied Kira.
"But the cockpit is blocked by the armour and-" said Lacus before she noticed that somehow, the cockpit was transparent and inside sat a small little model of a girl with pink hair.
"Goddesses! This is damn nice! Thanks Kira!"
"Sure no problem. Newayz, I was wondering if you want to go to the prom with me."
"With you?"
"Uh… yea…. is there a problem?" asked Kira with an uncomfortable looking face.
"YES, of course!" said Lacus, beaming at him.
"There is a problem?" asked Kira in a somewhat crestfallen and confused face.
"No, I mean yes I will go with you and no there is no problem" clarified Lacus.
"Woohoo! Oh yea! Erm, to know each other better before the prom, why not let's have a date first, whaddya think?"
"I think that's rather nice"
"Alright then, tomorrow evening, 6pm, you meet me at the main school gates?"
"Yea sure, cya then" said Lacus and walked away.
Sitting in Mr Flaga's lessons and not really listening as usual, Kira started planning for his date with Lacus the next evening…
-------------------------------------------------
Kira was leaning against the wall with his OP slingbag slung across his front. He was dressed in a navy blue t-shirt and black Bermudas. His brown hair was in its usual fashion, some spikes towards the front. He glanced at his watch. It was 6.55 pm, another 5 minutes before Lacus was due to arrive. In his mind, he went through the plan for the evening once again.
At exactly 6.58 pm on Kira's watch, Lacus arrived. Her hair, once again, was in its usual ponytail. She was wearing a pink singlet and white mini-skirt, with pink sneakers and baby-blue ankle socks. As she half-jogged towards Kira, he stood up straight.
"Do you mind watching a movie first?" Kira enquired.
"Nope. What movie?"
"Erm… how about the new blockbuster Annihilator 3 (derived from Terminator)?"
"Ehh… I'm okay I guess"
"Alright, let's go"
As they were not that close together yet, Kira did not move in to hold her hand. That can wait till later on, when we are closer together. They walked together at the same speed, with Lacus' right shoulder 2cm below Kira's left shoulder, heading towards the direction of the local shopping mall.
Suddenly, a green-haired boy of about fifteen walked towards them in giddy steps. He looked like he was drunk. He stopped right in front of them, forcing them to stop in their steps too. He had a drunken haze in his eyes.
"Why did the chicken not cross the road?" he asked in with a slur.
"Erm… because it didn't' want to?" replied Kira.
"Nope. Because it was too chicken to do so," said the green haired boy laughing out.
Kira and Lacus looked at each other and faked a few laughs.
"Why is the traffic policeman so strong?"
"Err…. Because he works out?" Lacus replied, taking a stab at it.
"Nope. Because he can hold up traffic with one hand! Hahaha!"
Both Kira and Lacus were at a lost of words due to the coldness of his jokes. "…" was all they could think.
Finally, Kira said "Erm, your jokes are rather nice, now if you don't mind, please move off."
"Okay… cya guys later"
-------------------------------------------------
At the cinema, Kira and Lacus enjoyed themselves immensely. Cheering and clapping at appropriate places. Kira found that he liked Lacus' personality a lot, judging by her comments on the movie. Lacus also found Kira's witty humour nice and pleasant. When the cinema's cold air-conditioning was too much for Lacus in her pink singlet, Kira had noticed her goosebumps and shivering, and took his navy blue jacket out from his slingbag and draped it over her shoulders. She appreciated his thoughtfulness and felt a sudden warmth, not only around her arms but also somewhere in the region of her heart.
"Wow, that's rather unrealistic and probably impossible in real life." commented Kira as he reached out to grab a handful of popcorn.
"Yea… it is rather impossible" agreed Lacus, also reaching out for the popcorn.
Inevitably, Lacus' hand brushed against Kira's. "Oops, sorry about that" apologized Lacus, blushing as she said that, hoping that Kira couldn't see her red face in the dark.
The movie screen shifted to a bright sunlit screen, and Kira could see a tint of redness in her face. "Well, I don't mind that happening again" Kira muttered to himself.
"What did you say?"
"Erm… nothing! Nothing at all!"
-------------------------------------------------
They exited the cinema, both feeling rather happy about the way the movie turned out.
"Wanna go to Waltfield's for dinner?" suggested Kira.
"Yea sure, I haven't been there for a long time!"
So they headed down to Waltfield's which is at the ground floor of the mall. As it was a Friday night, there was quite a queue outside Waltfield's so they had to wait for some time before they could be seated.
"Hey Lacus, I have something for you."
"Really? What?"
"This" he said as he took a pink ball out of his slingbag.
"His name is Haro" Kira continued.
Haro opened his small wings and flew out of Kira's hand and started bouncing on the floor, up towards Lacus' chest level. "Hello hello! My name is Haro Haro! What is yours?"
"Lacus"
"Lacus Lacus! What a nice nice name! Nice nice name!" Haro said that and started bouncing around Lacus.
"Oh Goddesses! He's so darn cute! Kira, did you make this yourself?"
"Yea. cause I found out that you like robotic pets from Birdy"
"Who's Birdy?"
Kira then beckoned to a robotic green bird which was perched on a nearby tree and it flew towards the pair and started playing with Haro.
"Oh, so you sent this pet to follow me around the place?"
"Err… yea…. but I didn't send it into the toilet or anything though"
"I thought just as much. I know you are not that much of a pervert"
At the time, they were already at the front of the queue and a waiter led them to their seats. As they walked to an empty table, a tall brown haired guy was in front of them. He had only his right eye, while his left eye was closed and had a slash on it.
"Mr Waltfield!" Lacus cried out.
"Ms Clyne! Welcome to my humble restaurant!" said the man, who apparently was Mr Waltfield, the owner of the restaurant.
"I told you to just call me Lacus"
"And I told you to just call me Andy"
"OK Andy"
Andy motioned for the waiter to go away and brought Kira and Lacus to their table himself.
"Wow Lacus, how did you get to know the owner of this restaurant?"
"Erm… our fathers are good friends" explained Lacus
"By the way, Andy, this is Kira Yamato, and Kira, this is Andy Waltfield, and as you have mentioned, is the owner of this restaurant"
"Nice to meet you, Kira Yamato, boyfriend of Lacus"
"Nice to meet you to-" said Kira, but was interrupted by Lacus.
"Andy! What did you say? We are not officially a couple yet okay!"
"Chill chill. I was just stating the facts. Anyways, what do you guys want to order?"
Still glaring at Andy, Lacus said "Fish & Chips" while Kira said "Chicken Cutlet".
After finishing their main course, Andy asked them what ice cream they wanted.
"Waltfield's Scrumptious 5 Flavour Ice Cream!" they said in unison.
"Okay. What flavours?"
Looking at the menu, they both said "Sherbert, Chocolate Chips, Grape, Gummy and Vanilla" at the same time.
Kira and Lacus looked at each other, startled by the unison. Andy was also looking at them, blinking his eyes rapidly.
"Er.. can you say that again? I didn't quite catch that"
Kira winked at Lacus and said "Sherbert"
Lacus said "Chocolate Chips"
"Grape"
"Gummy"
"Aaaand Vanilla!"
-------------------------------------------------
Feeling contented with the filling dinner, Kira and Lacus exited the restaurant. Suddenly, a clap of thunder caught them by surprise, and they both jumped in shock. Rain suddenly poured down in heavy torrents. Both of them did not expect it to rain and neither had an umbrella with them.
Suddenly, Kira took Lacus' left hand in his right and started running forwards. Lacus was shocked by the sudden contact but gave in to Kira and started running with him.
"Where are we going?"
"You shall see!"
The heavy rain was pouring down on them like a hose. Rainwater flowed down their faces and onto their clothes, drenching them in no time at all. Lucky my white mini-skirt is not made of a see through material, noted Lacus. Kira pulled her into a pavilion.
Just then, a gust of wind blew by, and Lacus' mini-skirt fluttered upwards, and Kira caught something white underneath. Lacus knew that Kira had saw it and was utterly embarrassed, her face turning a deep shade of red.
The heat on her face contrasted greatly with the icy cold felt by the rest of her body. "Kira, I'm coolld" Lacus shivered.
"I'll take that as an invitation to warm you up"
Lacus opened her mouth to say something somewhere along the line of "what?" but was stopped as Kira went forward and pulled her into a hug, putting his arms across her back. Though shocked at first, but Lacus felt comfortable, and eased into the hug, draping her arms around his broad shoulders and resting her head on his shoulder. The heat from their bodies came together and formed more heat between them, warming them up from their run in the rain.
"Don't worry, I didn't see anything just now" whispered Kira into her ear.
"That's a lie," she whispered back.
"Oh but it's a white lie, just like your panties"
"Kira!" Lacus shouted.
"Hehe, just joking, Lacus"
"Fine. I forgive you."
"Lacus" Kira said, pulling his head back.
"Yes?' asked Lacus, likewise pulling her head back from his shoulder.
"You are beautiful"
That said, Kira bent forward slightly and kissed her on the lips. Once again shocked by his actions, Lacus remained unmoving for a while. She felt a torrent of emotions towards him, mostly love, or what she believed was love. A light touching of lips at first, but as Lacus returned the kiss, it grew more passionate and forceful. None of them were willing to break off the kiss, savouring every moment in each other's embrace.
-------------------------------------------------
A/N: Wow. That's the longest chapter I've ever written so far. Around 2.2k words. Yea, I know that's really short compared to some other writers, but hey, I'm just a beginner you know. And the first really romantic chapter I've written so far. And since I'm just starting out, any help in that area would be appreciated. Also, as you guys can see, I have serious problems with fashion, so help there would be appreciated as well!
Perhaps it's the number of reviews I got (hint hint) but this chapter, as I've said, is rather long for me, and completed within a week! So, please click the nice pudgy little grey button that reads "Go" down there. Thanks! And cya guys in one week's time!
